Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

"Queen, you should be prepared to serve Emperor Yuan. If my guess is correct, Emperor Yuan will summon you to his bed soon."

As soon as Empress Dowager Zheng said this, Zhu Lian's face immediately turned pale!

Although the fall of the country had little to do with the queen, as the wife of Zhao Huan and the queen of the Zhao Song Dynasty, Zhu Lian would definitely have to bear the consequences of the demise of Zhao Song.

Zhu Lian is not an isolated case.

Let’s not talk about it remotely, just say that after the Zhao Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi coveted the beauty of Xiao Zhou Empress, and kept Xiao Zhou Empress in the palace overnight. Li Yu knew what was going on, but he dared not be angry. Dare to speak! At the same time, in order to save the life of her husband Li Yu, Xiao Zhouhou had no choice but to endure the humiliation! The most perverted thing is that Zhao Guangyi not only forced himself to visit Empress Xiao Zhou, but also asked a court painter to draw the scene as a commemoration, which is the famous painting "Xiling Empress Xiao Zhou".

This is a lesson learned from the past.

You can't say that the emperor of the Zhao and Song dynasties can attack the queen of the previous dynasty, but the emperor of the Yuan Empire is not allowed to attack the queen of the previous dynasty, right?

Moreover, as we all know, Jiang Hongfei is very good at this.

Now, who doesn't know that after the demise of the Liao Kingdom, all the royal and clan daughters of the Liao Dynasty were taken over by Jiang Hongfei, and even the queen of the Liao Dynasty, Xiao Duolilan, gave birth to all her children to Jiang Hongfei.

Not to mention the queen of the Liao Dynasty, which had already perished. Before Xixia fell, its queen Yelu Nanxiandu asked Jiang Hongfei to blackmail her and gave birth to a child for Jiang Hongfei.

This shows how much Jiang Hongfei likes women like the Queen Mother and Queen.

The key is that Zhu Lian is only twenty-three years old now, which is the best and most attractive age for a woman.

The key point is that Zhu Lian is very beautiful.

Let me ask, how could such Zhu Lian escape Jiang Hongfei's murderous hands?

Zhu Lian bit his lower lip and was silent for a long time, then took a deep breath, and then said decisively: "If I am humiliated, I will die for my country!"

Zhu Lian was not just talking like those previous women who said they would die for their country. She was prepared to take action, at least that's what she really thought.

In fact, Zhu Lian is really capable of doing such a thing.

Historically, after the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were taken prisoner. After being captured, the Jin State captured Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and more than 3,000 people in their harem, as well as a large number of royal daughters and clan members of the Zhao and Song Dynasty. The girl moved to the Five Kingdoms City in the northeast, and Zhu Lian, who had only been queen for two years, was also among them. On the way to the Five Kingdoms City, almost all the royal and clan daughters of the Zhao and Song dynasties, from the queen mother and empress to concubines and palace maids, were insulted by the Jin soldiers in every possible way. Even Zhu Lian was forced to perform for the soldiers. dance! After arriving at the Five Kingdoms City, the Jin Kingdom held a ceremony to present prisoners, the so-called sheep-leading ceremony, in which Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, Queen Mother Zheng, Zhu Lian, etc. were asked to go naked and wear sheepskins, with ropes tied around their necks. It was extremely humiliating to walk through the Imperial Ancestral Temple of the Jin Kingdom while holding hands! After the prisoner sacrifice, Wanyan Wu begged to recruit Zhu Lian to the Jin Kingdom Palace, saying that he wanted to "give him a bath". Empress Zhu couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by diving into the water!

Such Zhu Lian could die for his country if he was really forced to do so.

Seeing that Zhu Lian really wanted to die for his country, Empress Dowager Zheng said: "Confused!"

Zhu Lian was puzzled: "Why did the Queen Mother say that?"

Empress Dowager Zheng hated iron and said: "It's easy to die but hard to live. Even if the queen doesn't think about herself, she still has to endure the humiliation and bear the burden for me, the Song Dynasty. Could it be that the queen has forgotten that the prince is only six years old."

Not long after Zhao Huan ascended the throne, under Geng Nanzhong's persuasion, he made his six-year-old son Zhao Chen the prince.

Zhao Huan did this for two reasons:

One is to allow himself to firmly sit on the throne of the emperor, so that his brothers will not worry about his throne.

The second is to prevent Zhao Ji's restoration.

——You know, according to the etiquette of the Zhao and Song dynasties, as long as there is a prince, and as long as the prince is not deposed, the prince must inherit the throne after he can no longer be the emperor. Zhao Huan became the emperor largely because of this etiquette. In other words, as long as Zhao Huan established the crown prince, others would not be able to care about his throne.

In this way, under Zhao Huan's selfish motives, Zhao Chen became the most legitimate heir to the Zhao Song Dynasty at a young age.

Now, Zhao Huan has brought the emperor to the point of ruining the country. Even if the Zhao and Song dynasties are lucky enough to survive, Zhao Huan, the emperor, will definitely not be able to continue.

If that is the case, then the best, most legitimate, and most beneficial thing for Zhu Lian is to let Zhao Huan and Zhu Lian's only son Zhao Chen succeed to the throne.

Seeing Empress Dowager Zheng mentioning Zhao Chen, Zhu Lian's heart moved!

Zhu Lian thought to himself: "Could it be that the Queen Mother supports Chen'er's succession?"

Zhu Lian thinks this is possible.

Empress Dowager Zheng had no son. Zhao Huan was raised by Empress Dowager Zheng and was regarded as the adopted son of Empress Dowager Zheng. Although Zhao Huan had done many wrong things before and was extremely unfilial, the mother and son had been in love for so many years, and Empress Dowager Zheng had always liked Zhao Huan. Chen.

Seeing that Zhu Lian understood her "good intentions", Empress Dowager Zheng said: "The country is in trouble and the Zhao family is humiliated. You and I can no longer just care about our own reputations. We should mediate for the prince, Roujia and Zhao family, otherwise who can take their place?" You and I will protect the crown prince and Rou Jia until they grow up? Who can help me restore the Song Dynasty?"

Zhu Lian felt that what Empress Dowager Zheng said made sense, but if she followed what Empress Dowager Zheng said, she would have to accompany Jiang Hongfei and let Jiang Hongfei play with her.

Zhu Lian is not a flirtatious woman. On the contrary, she is very loyal. She would definitely not be willing to do such a thing.

So Zhu Lian couldn't help but struggle a little!

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Zheng continued to persuade: "Today there are only you and my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law here. For the sake of the Song Dynasty, I am not afraid of being embarrassed."

Empress Dowager Zheng took a deep breath, as if she had made a lot of determination, and then said: "If...the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty does not mind that I am a few years older than him, for the sake of the Song Dynasty, and to protect the prince and my Zhao family, I will commit myself to he."

Zhu Lian was a little dumbfounded when she heard this. She never expected that Queen Mother Zheng, who was forty-one years old, would have such thoughts! ! !

Seeing Zhu Lian's shock, Empress Dowager Zheng said calmly: "In terms of Zhenlie, I will not lose to you, but it is easy for me to die. Who will protect the prince and the Zhao family, and who will help me restore the Song Dynasty? I hope to be defeated by the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. The Zhao men who are locked up? Or are you counting on those ministers who surrendered to Dayuan?"

Zhu Lian was silent.

If Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and the ministers of the Zhao Song Dynasty were really reliable, the Zhao Song Dynasty would not be in this situation, and they, the royal and clan daughters of the Zhao Song Dynasty, would not all be included in Jiang Hongfei's harem.

Therefore, these people are simply unreliable, and expecting them to return to the country is simply a fantasy.

After giving Zhu Lian some time to digest, Empress Dowager Zheng continued: "Thankfully, the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was a womanizer and liked us, the daughters of the royal family and the clan, otherwise the Song Dynasty would have been hopeless. Now, as long as we obtain the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, His favor can influence the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to a certain extent, and can also protect the prince and the Zhao family. If King Kang raises an army to kill him in the future, our Song Dynasty may not have no hope of restoring the country. If we can't bear it now, we will mess up the big plan. "

Although Zhu Lian felt that what Empress Dowager Zheng said was very reasonable, Zhu Lian still couldn't accept Empress Dowager Zheng's ideas.

Zhu Lian even thought of Empress Dowager Hu and Empress Mu of Northern Qi.

Empress Dowager Hu was the empress of Emperor Wucheng Gao Zhan of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the mother of the Empress Gao Wei of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Empress Mu was the empress of the Empress Gao Wei of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lived until the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty. After the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turned into prostitutes in order to make a living.

Zhu Lian felt that if Empress Dowager Zheng said it was followed, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be just like Empress Dowager Hu and Empress Mu, and they would definitely be recorded in the annals of history and be infamy for thousands of years.

But, then again, if Empress Dowager Zheng's plan succeeds, then their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be the biggest contributors to the reconstruction of the Song Dynasty, and they may be written down in a big book and become famous in the annals of history.

Zhu Lian was a little undecided!

Empress Dowager Zheng continued to persuade: "The reason why I came to tell you about this is because only you and I can do our best in this matter. After all, Chen'er is my grandson and your son. Who else is willing to contribute except you and me? Don't look at it. These women are now listening to you and me. I can guarantee that when the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty comes, they will all compete for his favor. No one will do anything for the Song Dynasty. Even if they fight, it will only be for their respective descendants and their respective In our family, the only ones who can contribute to the Song Dynasty are you and my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.”

At this point, Empress Dowager Zheng felt a little helpless: "Unfortunately, I am already old, and Emperor Yuan may not necessarily like me, but even if he does, it is probably just a picture of beauty, and I will no longer be favored in three to five days. But you are different. You are the Queen of the Song Dynasty, and you are young and beautiful. As long as you are willing to endure hardships, you will be able to protect the prince and teach me that there is still a chance for the Song Dynasty to recover. "

After listening to Empress Dowager Zheng's "heartfelt words", Zhu Lian was a little confused as to what to do.

Zhu Lian thought of Zhao Huan, whom she loved and was disappointed at the same time.

Zhao Huan, who was still the prince at the time, was the best man in Zhu Lian's eyes, and she was the happiest woman in the world.

At that time, Zhao Huan was good at both vocal skills and music. He was also gentle, courteous, thrifty, devoted, and never interested in other women. Even when faced with the seduction of a woman in the East Palace, Zhao Huan was able to sit still. Not messy.

Later, Zhu Lian saw that Zhao Huan's younger brother Zhao Kai had six daughters and five sons, Zhao Shu had two daughters and two sons, Zhao Qi had two daughters and one son, Zhao Xu had seven daughters and four sons, and Zhao Chu had one daughter and one son. Zhao Gou had five daughters, Zhao Mo had two daughters, Zhao Zhi had two daughters and two sons, and Zhao Huan only had one son and one daughter. In addition, the lack of prosperous heirs also affected the stable status of Zhao Huan as the prince, so Zhu Lian decided His own sister, Concubine Zhu Shende, was summoned into the East Palace and became Zhao Huan's concubine.

However, although Concubine Zhu Shende was gentle and beautiful, Zhao Huan still only treated Zhu Lian with respect.

A prince, a future emperor, could be so loyal to a woman. How could Zhu Lian not be moved, how could he not love her?

Therefore, Zhao Huan and Zhu Lian have always been husband and wife. After Zhao Huan ascended the throne and became emperor, Zhu Lian has been working hard to help Zhao Huan be a good emperor.

Unexpectedly, after Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he made a series of stupid moves, which not only gave him a reputation of being unfilial, unkind and unjust, but also lost the land and country of the Zhao Song Dynasty, turning the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty into prisoners.

What Zhao Huan did made so many people disappointed in him.

Zhu Lian is no exception.

Moreover, what many people don't know is that Zhu Lian once wanted to take Prince Zhao Chen and Emperor Roujia to Shaanxi to serve as a frontline for Zhao Huan.

But Zhao Huan agreed and disagreed for a while, going back and forth and hesitating. Another time, Zhu Lian, mother and son had already left the city, and Zhao Huan sent people to chase them back, and finally let them miss The best time to escape from Bianliang City was that they were all captured.

Now, Zhu Lian had to face the choice of accompanying Jiang Hongfei.

Zhu Lian felt that it was all because of Zhao Huan. Even if she did something sorry for Zhao Huan in the end, it was Zhao Huan who asked for it...

…

Jiang Hongfei is very busy these days.

The original officials of the Zhao and Song dynasties had to deal with it.

The high-ranking officials, wealthy families, and gentry of the Zhao and Song dynasties had to be dealt with.

Officials and troops of the Zhao Song Dynasty who defected to the Yuan Empire must be properly resettled.

The people in Bianliang City must be properly dealt with.

Officials in the capital region must be appointed quickly.

A special imperial examination will be held to select talents, and those literati will also find something to do to stabilize them.

Due to the siege for more than a month, the residents of Bianliang City are in serious shortage of daily necessities, which need to be solved immediately, or even immediate disaster relief.

Crack down on lawless people.

Send people to continue searching for the royal family and clan members of the Zhao Song Dynasty who are hiding.

Pay attention to the progress of debt relief, land distribution, and grain distribution.

Pay attention to work-for-relief.

Pay attention to farming.

Pay attention to the Grand Marshal's Office of Zhao Gou and Zong Ze.

In addition, select generals to mobilize troops, deploy troops, eliminate the Song army of Zhong Shizhong and Yao Gu who have entered Hebei and Hedong, defeat the Song army stationed in Xingren Prefecture, and completely attack the capital region, so that the capital region is connected with Hebei and Shandong.

There are also plans for Xijing and Shaanxi, and they are ready to seize these two areas.

Pay attention to the movements of Xixia, the movements of the Jin Kingdom, the movements of Wang Qing, the movements of the Song army in Jiangnan, and the movements of Fang La...

In short, after Jiang Hongfei entered Bianliang City, it seemed that all the urgent matters came at once.

Fortunately, Jiang Hongfei was not alone.

—— Jiang Hongfei went south this time, and he was determined to take over the city of Dongjing Bianliang, so he brought a large number of officials.

Moreover, a large number of officials from the Zhao Song Dynasty surrendered to the Yuan Empire.

Nowadays, Jiang Hongfei, who has swallowed up a large number of talents from the Liao Empire and the Zhao Song Dynasty, and has cultivated and promoted a large number of talents himself, has a lot of talents under his command.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Hongfei can easily govern even if he swallows up the entire Zhao Song Dynasty.

However, this requires a process and time.

The key is that no matter how many talents Jiang Hongfei has, some things have to be handled by Jiang Hongfei himself.

For example, to appease the ministers of the former Zhao Song Dynasty who were frightened by the public trial, so that they would not run to help Zhao Gou restore the country.

There is no way, the power of the public trial is too great, a large number of ministers of the former Zhao Song Dynasty and their relatives were affected, and even almost all the ministers of the former Zhao Song Dynasty became proletarians.

Under such circumstances, it is hard to guarantee that some ministers of the former Zhao Song Dynasty will hate Jiang Hongfei and the Yuan Empire.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei needs to personally appease these ministers of the former Zhao Song Dynasty, listen to their ideas, let them state the current affairs and give him advice. In short, let them understand that if you keep the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. If you work hard with yourself, what they lose will come back.

Of course, if these ministers of the former Zhao Song Dynasty are really stubborn, Jiang Hongfei doesn't care. Anyway, Jiang Hongfei is not short of talents now, and he will not be short of talents in the future.

In short.

After taking control of Bianliang City, Jiang Hongfei was busy for more than ten days. He ate and slept in the office and had no time to go to the harem to see the more than 5,000 women he had just collected.

——Even if there was a need, Jiang Hongfei would just grab a woman nearby to solve the problem.

Only after Jiang Hongfei had dealt with all the things he was supposed to deal with and handed over all the remaining matters, did he prepare to go back to the harem to rest for two days...
